Hunting for Shade (5)

"Whatever," Vincent said.

"Why are you here? What did you want to buy?" Vincent said with a weak but real smile.

Ramon had been taken aback by Vincent's sudden change.

It was weird. For a moment he was freaking out, and the following one he was almost normal.

"Well… we came here to inquire about this..." Erik gave Vincent the sheet of paper containing the unknown symbol.

The moment Vincent's eyes landed on the unknown symbol adorning the paper, his complexion turned ashen.

A visible shudder ran through his body, as if the mere sight of the symbol had chilled him to the bone.

His hands trembled as he took the paper, his gaze locked on the symbol with a mixture of recognition and dread.

It was clear from his reaction that he was familiar with what the symbol represented.

The color drained from his face, not just from fear but from the weight of the secrets the symbol carried.
